Swipe and Tap functionality not working after upgrade to Xcode 16

After upgrading my Xcode version to 16.2, the swipe and tap functionalities are no longer working.

I have tried:

  • Upgrading Katalon to 10.1.0
  • Upgrading Xcuitest to 7.21.1 and above
  • Using a variety of simulated iOS devices
  • Upgrading and downgrading appium to 2.16 and 2.11.1
  • Using TouchAction with PointerInput interactions
  • Using katalon-mobile-util library

Nothing seems to be working. I am consistently receiving the following error:

=============== ROOT CAUSE =====================

Hi @Elly_Tran,

Any update on this issue?

@sean.grecco swipe functionality is working for me on xcode 16 with iOS 15-18 on real devices. I am using a slightly older version of Katalon v10.0.0.

I am using Appium 2.12.1 and xcuitest version 7.32.0

Can you try upgrading appium and the driver to see if that fixes your issue? I believe the driver version is what fixed swiping for me previously.

Solution

@kreno Thank you for your response. It prompted me to take a deeper dive into my driver list.

The issue was based on the my APPIUM_HOME path variable. Katalon was using an older version of appium and xcuitest I had installed in a different location before the Xcode 16 update.

By modifying my APPIUM_HOME path to the new location, I was able to update the appium to 2.16.2 and xcuitest driver to 7.32.0. Swipe and Tap functionalities are now working.
